Its suppose to be winter

Well here it is November 9th and the past two days have been rather balmy. So balmy in fact, the bees decided it was nice enough to come outside during the afternoon. Yesterday was warmer than today but both days brought sunshine and warm temperatures.
I shot this little video to record the bees activity during this unusually warm days.

You can really tell we are still newbees, yesterday James found a bee sitting on his truck, it was later in the afternoon and it had started to cool down some, so he picked it up and carried it back to the bee yard. This morning we rescued one that fell in our little ditch full of water...we are a sappy couple when it comes to the bees.

I have decided that during the winter I will be posting recipes, using our honey and maybe even talk about bee books I have been checking out.

Until then...cheers
